Display tip and another project...............

[Greg from Mi.]

Steve sent me a lot of detecting tips to help me get through another winter. I thought I'd post this one as it gave me a few ideas for projects
Here's a display I made. It shows a place in my town that has gone through a lot of changes. It's now our towns museam but a long time ago it was the home furnishing Co. I found a token from there a few years back. The token is from the 20's or 30's
Thanks Steve

...from the Knoxville Railway and Light Co. It is tucked away in a plastic sleeve in a 3-ring binder along with my older coin finds never seen by anyone. This would be a perfect way to display the button!! I have some research to do!!

Heck, I couldn't wait, here is what I just found on Google.

In this collection there are 143 boxes of Vouchers and
Journal Entries which record a period in the growth of Knoxville.
The Knoxville Electric Light and Power Company, the Knoxville
Street Railway, the Knoxville Park Association and the Knoxville
Traction Company become the Knoxville Railway and Light Company
and serve Knoxville from 1896-1920.

Here's the link:http://www.lib.utk.edu/spcoll/manuscripts/a1502

Now I have an approximate age of the button.
